voodoo zobop conversion bbs02

[peter.c]

Hi
Has any one converted a voodoo zobop to bbs 02 cannot find a decent pic of the bottom bracket to swing arm area looks like it might be a tight fit
thanks

simple rule:
if the largest chainring on the donor bike is less than 44T, be careful, there may not be enough space for the gearbox.
check time index 0:35

Thanks woosh had seen that the gap between the chain wheel and the rear arm looks a very odd angle do not want to have to use the 4 pound adjuster

Sounds like another build going on mate..yes it's well worth spending a bit of time researching what type of bottom bracket space there is..the 29er Forme Frame I've just done was perfect apart from a slightly tight fit through the middle..I've even managed to file some surplus off the drive side of the bottom bracket to get the motor right in tight..but I must have looked at at least 10 different frames that were not suitable. Best bike I've been on so bloody comfy..wanna build a biggie next..maybe 750w..

Have already made one costly mistake with the cube belt drive that will not convert .{ but I will keep it]
The garage feels empty now the charge has sold and the pile of bits motor batt etc want a new donor

Still got the carrera mate..but I think it needs a big motor still got its sensors fitted.ideal test bike.

I am also trying to work out if the Zobop will work for my next build, but also the Cannondale Prophet as the frame looks like it should have no problems with clearance to accommodate a centre drive even if it looks a little non conventional!

The cannondale looks even harder to tell and the battery options look

The zobop is possible found an old forsale add on here but light on details
no local halfords has one in stock to look ,it looks like it might not be a job for the 4 pounder might be the angle grinder the secondhand one local has now sold

Can you see what the difference is between the Zobop and the Canzo? I am just trawling ebay and the frames look identical, the Canzo retails about £200 less when new.

The rear shock mount and placement of rear swing arm

[Blunderbuss]

Thank you - i am also trying to see if there are any differences depending on the frame size; just in case i need the 9" grinder or will the 4.5" do

The joys of a self build even looked at Boardman and rock rider
But will not know if it will work till you see it in the METAL

That chain wheel stand off from the BB looks quite big, but eh, nothing ventured...I hope it fits Peter, will make a cracking bike. Is the 350 going on?

Just putting the final touches to a Zobop. The bbs02 fitted no probs but can only use 1 nut on nondrive side . For a battery I got a 36v 14.5amp Hailong 1 from Yose to try. It is mounted under the front downtube . Not ridden in anger yet but battery should just clear the front wheel on full compression.

 

[peter.c]

4 hours in the car I hope its worth it no got bbs02 36v at 25amps and the triangle battery I have the California motor mount to solve that
